Liquid Propane (LP) Safety Information

Please review the below guidelines and safety information when using Liquid Propane (LP) gas.

General Information

• This grill is designed to be used with a standard 20 lb.
LP gas cylinder.

• Any brand of 20 lb.LP gas cylinder is acceptable for
use on this grill, provided that it is compatible with the
grill’s retention means (tank tray bolt).

• This grill is designed certified by ETL international for

local LP gas supply.

Safety Information

• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas.

• LP gas is heavier than air and leaking gas may collect
in low areas and resist dispersion.

• LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled
roughly.

• DO NOT use a damaged LP cylinder. A dented or
rusty LP cylinder or an LP cylinder with a damaged
valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with
a new cylinder immediately.

• ALWAYS close the cylinder valve after use.

• ALWAYS close the cylinder valve when disconnecting
the regulator.

• ALWAYS treat possible empty LP cylinders with the
same care as a full LP cylinder. There may still be gas
pressure inside a possible empty LP cylinder.

• NEVER store or transport an LP cylinder where the
temperature can reach 125ºF.

• Keep LP cylinders away from children and pets.

• DO NOT store disconnected LP cylinders in a
building, garage or other enclosed areas.

• If the LP cylinder is kept in the grill between uses,
make sure to keep both the grill and the cylinder in an
outdoor area with good ventilation.

• ALWAYS leak test the LP cylinder connection to the
regulator when ever changing LP cylinders.

Installation of LP Cylinder

1. Make sure all burner controls are in the OFF
position.

2. Open the cabinet door.

3. Carefully position in the large hole on the
bottom panel.

4. To secure the LP cylinder in place, screw the
tank holding tray bolt through the bottom
section of the LP cylinder.

5. Attach the regulator to the cylinder by
carefully HAND TIGHTENING only.

6. NEVER use a wrench or other tool to tighten
this connection.

7. Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Important

The United States LP gas appliance installation
must conform with local codes and ordinances.
In the absence of local codes, appliance
installation must conform with either the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, Natural
Gas and Propane Appliance code, CSA B149.1,
or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2,
as applicable.

For Canada, installation of this grill must comply
with local codes and/or Standard CSA B149.2
(Propane Storage and Handling Code).

Always check the rating plate to verify that the
appliance is the correct gas type for the gas
supply that you are connecting to. A natural gas
grill requires natural gas to operate and an LP
gas grill requires liquid propane to operate.

Connecting Gas Cylinder

1. ALWAYS place the propane cylinder on the
tank holder under the cart.

2. ALWAYS confirm that all burner control knobs
are in OFF position before activating the gas
supply.

3. Before connection, be sure that there is no
debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder,
head of the regulator valve, or in the head of the
burner and burner ports.

4. ALWAYS connect the gas supply regulator as
follows: Insert the nipple of the valve coupling
into the tank valve and tighten the connection
collar by turning it clockwise with one hand
while holding the regulator with the other hand.

5. Disconnect the propane cylinder from the
regulator valve when the grill is not in use.

6. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air
and ventilation air to the grill.

7. Keep ventilation openings of the cylinder
enclosure free and clear from debris.

Please make sure the cylinder valve connection
device shall properly and safely mate with the
connection device attached to the inlet of the
pressure regulator.

To prevent fire or explosion hazard
when testing for a leak:

1. ALWAYS perform the 'leak test'
before lighting the grill and each
time the cylinder is connected for
use.

2. DO NOT smoke or allow other
sources of ignition in the area while
conducting a leak test.

3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a

well-ventilated area.

4. DO NOT use matches, lighters or a
flame to check for leaks.

5. DO NOT use grill until all leaks have
been stopped. If you are unable to
stop a leak, disconnect the propane
supply, call for gas appliance service
or your local propane gas supplier.

Checking for Leaks

1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part
liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.

2. Make sure control knobs are in the OFF position.

3. Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the
valve connection. (See diagram to below.)

4. Inspect the solution at the connections for
bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is
secure.

5. If bubbles appear, you have a leak. Go to step 6.

6. Disconnect the regulator from the tank and
reconnect. Make sure the connection is tight and
secured.

7. Retest with solution.

8. If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move
the LP cylinder. Contact an LP gas supplier or
your fire department!

6. If the ignition flame and burner will not ignite within 5
seconds, turn the control knob to the “• OFF” position
and wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate and then
repeat step 4.

Failure to follow the five-minute
waiting period may result in an
explosive flare-up, which can cause
serious bodily injury or death.

Care and Maintenance

Please use the following guidelines to keep your grill
clean and looking new. Before any cleaning, make
sure the control knobs are in the

OFF position and

•

grill is cool to the touch.

Cleaning the Outside of the Grill

For painted surfaces clean thoroughly with a hot
soapy water solution. Rinse with water and allow to
completely dry.

For the stainless steel surfaces, use a good quality
stainless steel cleaner.

• When cleaning, always rub or wipe in the
direction of the stainless steel grain.

• For stubborn spots, always scrub in the direction
of the stainless steel grain.

• DO NOT clean stainless steel with anything
containing acid, mineral spirits or xylene.

• DO NOT use a wire brush or any abrasive cleaner
on the stainless steel surface as this will cause
scratches in the stainless steel finish.

Cleaning the Inside of the Grill

For safety and efficiency, it is important to remove
any debris or excess grease that may accumulate
inside the grill.

If using a bristle brush to clean cooking
surfaces make sure no loose bristles
remain on the cooking surface
as they may attach to food.

Do not allow drippings or food residue
to remain on the heat tents or
grease tray. Clean regularly to ensure
proper cooking performance.

• Wipe off the inner lid liner with a paper towel to

prevent grease build up.

• For the stainless steel heat tents, clean residue off

with wire brush or a flat scraper.

• Remove the grease cup and empty into a suitable

container. Then wipe with a paper towel to remove
excess grease.

• Remove the grease tray from the grill and clean off

residue with a wire brush or flat scraper, then wipe
with a paper towel to remove any excess grease.

DO NOT line grease tray or grease
cup with aluminum foil.

Grease cup

The grease cup is located below the grill and should
be cleaned after each use to prevent heavy buildup
of debris.

Note: Allow the grease cup to cool before
attempting to clean.

Hose Inspection

The hose should be inspected periodically for any
signs of cracking, nicks, cuts or abrasions.

• If the hose is found to be damaged in any way
DO NOT use the grill.

• The hose must be replaced be a certified hose
as shown in the replacement parts section.

Checking the Flame

The flame coming out of the burners should be a
blue/yellow combination and between one to two
inches tall (see below).
